Exercise Mat Kit

ABSTRACT

An exercise mat kit for enhancing comfort while performing physical exercises includes a plurality of pads. Each of the pads is selectively positioned on a support surface having the plurality of pads being arranged to be aligned with a user. Each of the pads is comprised of a resiliently compressible material to enhance comfort with respect to performing the physical exercises. A plurality of grips is provided and each of the grips is coupled to an associated one of the pads. Each of the grips frictionally engages the support surface thereby inhibiting the associated pad from sliding on the support surface.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention (2) Descriptionof Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and1.98

The disclosure and prior art relates to exercise devices and moreparticularly pertains to a new exercise device for enhancing comfortwhile performing physical exercises.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above bygenerally comprising a plurality of pads. Each of the pads isselectively positioned on a support surface having the plurality of padsbeing arranged to be aligned with a user. Each of the pads is comprisedof a resiliently compressible material to enhance comfort with respectto performing the physical exercises. A plurality of grips is providedand each of the grips is coupled to an associated one of the pads. Eachof the grips frictionally engages the support surface thereby inhibitingthe associated pad from sliding on the support surface.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more importantfeatures of the disclosure in order that the detailed descriptionthereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that thepresent contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There areadditional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafterand which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features ofnovelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out withparticularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of thisdisclosure.

FIG. 2 is a bottom view of a pad of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a top view of a pad of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 3 of anembodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 5 is a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through5 thereof, a new exercise device embodying the principles and conceptsof an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the exercise mat kit 10generally comprises a plurality of pads 12. Each of the pads 12 may bepositioned on a support surface 14 having the plurality of pads 12 beingarranged to be aligned with a user 15. The support surface 14 may be afloor or the like and the user may be practicing physical exercises.Each of the pads 12 is comprised of a resiliently compressible materialto enhance comfort with respect to performing the physical exercises.

Each of the pads 12 is comprised of a fluid impermeable material toinhibit absorbing sweat and other fluids. Each of the pads 12 has afirst surface 16 and a second surface 18. Moreover, each of the pads 12may have a diameter ranging between approximately 15.0 cm and 20.0 cmand a thickness ranging between approximately 1.0 cm and 3.0 cm.

A plurality of grips 20 is provided and each of the grips 20 is coupledto an associated one of the pads 12. Each of the grips 20 frictionallyengages the support surface 14 thereby inhibiting the associated pad 12from sliding on the support surface 14. Each of the grips 20 has aprimary surface 22 and a secondary surface 24. The primary surface 22corresponding to each of the grips 20 is coupled to the first surface 16of the associated pad. The secondary surface 24 frictionally engages thesupport surface 14 when the associated pad 12 is positioned on thesupport surface 14. Each of the grips 20 is comprised of a skidresistant material such as rubber or the like. The secondary surface 24corresponding to each of the grips 20 may be textured to enhancegripping the support surface 14.

In use, each of the pads 12 is positioned on the support surface 14 andeach of the pads 12 is arranged in a selected pattern. Moreover, each ofthe pads 12 is aligned with a connection point between the user 15 andthe support surface 14. The connection point may be the user's hands,the user's feet, the user's knees and the user's elbows. In this wayeach of the pads 12 enhances comfort with respect to performing thephysical exercises on the support surface 14. The physical exercisesinclude, but are not limited to, pushups, burpees, planks, mountainclimbers and any other type of physical exercise. Each of the pads 12 iswashable when the pads 12 are not in use.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, kit and use, are deemedreadily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
